News: 3 days agoHead coach Ryan Warsofsky said Wednesday that Sturm (lower body) won't be back until after the 4 Nations Face-Off, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Spin: Sturm is expected to rejoin the team almost as soon as the Sharks resume playing after the 4 Nations break. The 29-year-old center has already missed four games while on injured reserve and will now be out of action for at least four more. When healthy, Sturm has struggled to produce offensively, recording a mere 11 points across 41 outings.
